The Undergrad Maths Colloquium

The Undergraduate Mathematics Colloquium is the UCL Maths Department's second society.

The colloquium arranges a variety of events for students for academic enrichment. The most common are talks conducted by other students.

These talks cover anything useful for academic progress ranging from workshops for LaTeX, to analysing pendulums with elliptic curves

You can find their website here.

Data Science Society

Course Structure Assistance▼

The Maths Department Webpage

The primary source of information is the maths department webpage; UCL is perhaps one of the most diverse universities in the UK when it comes to joint-honours and electives.

You can find information on the various courses available for mathematics on the department website.

Within each various course, you can find the details of each course in the specific degree structure.

You can find the specific page here.

Dr Matthew Towers' Pathway Map

For the entirety of years 3-4 and the second half of year 2, students are required right to pick ~4 modules per term.

Dr Towers has a page highlighting every mathematics module the department offers along with a link to their summary page and their prerequisites

You can find the list here.

You can also find a graphical version of the page here.

External Module list:

Below is a list of all external modules (maths related) that have been taken in the past by students (Level/Term). Some courses, such as the computer science department, do not have a dedicated list of modules, but you can find all modules in the wider UCL module catalogue. Note that these are ones that have even been taken by students who aren't in a relavant joint course (e.g a pure maths student having taken a stats module). If you have another, please don't hesitate to contact us:
